    They’re all wrong
    They all have it wrong. Unknown to the rest of the world, I’m a F’ing genius (see, you were shocked too, weren’t you?). I have developed time travel despite the protestations of Stephen Hawkings (whose understanding of the universe is so elementary as to be laugable). I took my collected works of Shakespeare off the shelf, traveled back to Elizabethan England, and I am the one that used Willy, yes Willy, as a front man. The poor guy could barely string to words together, much less two sentences. The best part? He did it as long as I kept him paid up at the local inn. It was a sweet deal. The whole personal hygiene thing was a bummer, however. Thank God they paid off in gold.

    We will need a new LC subject head: Works of Bob, formerly Shakespeare, William.

    If the spirit of John Lennon can get an LOC entry I see no reason why you can’t have written all of Bill’s works.

    Oh, here

    I’m thinking of logging into Wikipedia and correcting some of their “mistakes”.
